The Register of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO) database collates information and evidence on known professional spam operations that have been terminated by a minimum of 3 Internet Service Providers for spam offenses.

100 Known Spam Operations responsible for 80% of your spam. 80% of spam received by Internet users in North America and Europe can be traced via aliases, addresses, redirects, locations of servers, domains and dns setups, to a hard-core group of around 100 known spam operations, almost all of whom are listed in the ROKSO database. Each spam operation, or "spam gang", consists on average of between 1 to 5 spammers (giving an etimated total of 300-400 spammers). The majority of the spammers on the ROKSO List operate illegally and move from network to network and country to country seeking out Internet Service Providers with poor security or known for not enforcing of anti-spam policies. Many of these spam operations pretend to operate 'offshore'. Those who don't hide behind anonymity pretend to be small 'ISPs' themselves, claiming to their providers that the spam is being sent not by them but by non-existent 'customers'. When caught, almost all use the age old tactic of lying to each ISP long enough to buy a few days or weeks more of spamming and when terminated simply move on to the next ISP already set up and waiting. Those on the ROKSO List are the professional spammers you definitely do NOT want on your network. ROKSO is a "3 Strikes" register. To be placed on the ROKSO list a spammer must first be terminated by a minimum of 3 ISPs for AUP violations. Once listed in ROKSO, IP addresses under the control of ROKSO-listed spammers are automatically and preemptively listed in the Spamhaus Block List (SBL). For qualified Law Enforcement Agencies Spamhaus provides a special version of this ROKSO database which gives access to records with evidence, logs and information on illegal activities of many of these gangs, too sensitive to publish here. Spamhaus also publishes a weekly TOP 10 "Worst ROKSO Spammers" chart.     The ROKSO List Known Spam Operation Country Alan Ralsky United States Alex Blood / Alexander Mosh / AlekseyB / Alex Polyakov Ukraine Alexey Panov - ckync.com Russia Amir Gans Israel Andrew Chandler / Chat Radio United States Andria Petito / Tranzact Media United States Andy Miller / Great Loan Network United States Anton Gorodov / Gorodetsk - srx / s-rx Russia AWG aka youngjoo aka qline Japan Batch1 / Adam Vitale / g00dfellas.com United States Bill Waggoner United States Brian Fabian / Gregory Parsons Canada Brian Kos / BK Ventures / Internet Promos Canada Brian Kramer / Expedite Media Group United States Brian McDaid - Global Prosperity Group / DrHGH / greeneyed media United States Bubba Catts United States Caliber One / caliberone.net - Kurt Lemmings United States Calvin Ho / Optin Global Inc.
